A method for testing bullets at reduced velocity
Michael Courtney, Amy Courtney
Reconstruction of shooting events occasionally requires testing of bullets at velocities significantly below the typical muzzle velocity of cartridge arms. Trajectory, drag, and te…
Comments on "Ballistics: a primer for the surgeon"
Michael Courtney, Amy Courtney
In response to a published assertion to the contrary, this paper briefly reviews many studies that document remote wounding effects of ballistic pressure waves including experiment…
Misleading reference to unpublished wound ballistics data regarding distant injuries
Michael Courtney, Amy Courtney
An article (J Trauma 29:10-18, 1989) cites unpublished wound ballistics data to support the authors' view that distant injuries are a myth in wound ballistics. The actual data, pub…
A Thoracic Mechanism of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Due to Blast Pressure Waves
Amy Courtney, Michael Courtney
The mechanisms by which blast pressure waves cause mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (mTBI) are an open question. Possibilities include acceleration of the head, direct passa…
Apparent measurement errors in "Development of biomechanical response corridors of the thorax to blunt ballistic impacts"
Michael Courtney, Amy Courtney
"Development of biomechanical response corridors of the thorax to blunt ballistic impacts" (Bir, C., Viano, D., King, A., 2004, Journal of Biomechanics 37, 73-79.) contains apparen…
Links between traumatic brain injury and ballistic pressure waves originating in the thoracic cavity and extremities
Amy Courtney, Michael Courtney
Identifying patients at risk of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is important because research suggests prophylactic treatments to reduce risk of long-term sequelae. Blast pressure wav…
